SIAAI & INDOCHINA DETERMINATION TO RECOVER LOST TERRITORIES. DECLARED BY PREMIER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) BANGKOK, October 20. The Premier, in a broadcast, indicated that a French commission was unacceptable unless it was authorised to negotiate for the return of the Luang, Prabano and Pakse territories, and also to adjust the Mekong border. “We are determined to get back our lost territory,” he said. “Every effort will be made without resorting to force, but if force is inevitable war will be waged with a minimum of bloodshed.” A thousand farmers demonstrated before the Defence Ministry in favour of armed action if the French refuse to return the territories.
